Q&A: The Fits Director Anna Rose Holmer On Making A Movie About ‘The Dancing Disease’

The Fits is the first narrative feature film from director Anna Rose Holmer, who worked in documentaries and on camera crews for films from Twilight to Lena Dunham’s Tiny Furniture before stepping into the director’s chair herself. Working in a closely collaborative team with her co-writers and co-producers, Holmer saw The Fits through from its very first financing pitch to directing on set and now taking it to theaters. Ahead of the release of The Fits this weekend, she joined MTV News to talk about gender rage, dance, intersectionality, and how to stretch a Venetian dollar.
